Thank you, and while we are talking birthdays, let's all say Happy Birthday to Injectedcutty too!Happy belated B-day!
Happy birthday gentlemen!
Today I received and installed a new pump for my washers.
Sprayers work well and mist is even. Install was simple and I took the mounting areas to bare metal before reinstalling the case as that’s where it grounds to. I don’t understand why GM thought grounding to a painted surface was a good idea.
While testing I found my passenger side wiper doesn’t make contact with the windshield. I found that the arm doesn’t sit right on the mounting knob on the cowl so the small locking part won’t engage and keep the arm at the correct angle. I bent the slider every which way but it would not slide over enough to engage. Adding that to the list of things to fix. Seems like when addressing one thing, two more pop up.

Whattya know, I couldn't leave the Cutlass alone. Installed more rivnuts, mounted the remaining breakers and relays, then had to build a few more 1/0 battery cables. The relay for the new in tank pump is mounted and ready, just need to connect a few wires once the fuel cell is removed.
Not the cleanest install, but everything is protected and separated. I have a short video, but just another chuggity chug idle to check my work. Also, thanks for the birthday wishes guys!

At chassis dyno today, 305 cid, 144 blower, E85, 10 psi boost
gotta get a new arm to fix that issue. any 80s gm car arm should do. and neat. i need a new washer pump as well. mine barely dribbles like a sad old man. no better time to fix it than now, front clip off and all.
I figured as much, I just didnt want to accept that yet. lol
I plan on looking into some wiper arms that have the sprayer attached to them and just run the lines longer if needed and do away with the cowl mounted sprayers. Another mod for another day.
The pump is very inexpensive on RockAuto right now. I think its a warehouse closeout part. With the forums discount and shipping I was only out $10 for it. It was supposed to arrive on 9/14 but I got it 9/8.
Have you checked the nozzles and hoses? I find that they do become clogged. I usually use a piece of thin wire, like welding wire to ream out the spray nozzles and of course try to blow out the washer hoses. Sometimes you'll find them to be easy fixes.
